Hello Rash- you deserve pom poms for impressive extended lurking!
Cheers for the link Oi (think it was aimed at me and not Tyel?) and the kind words. LO has been such a cheery sod today you'd never know... but I find it so hard when he is upset to remind myself that this isn't- sacrificing chickens to Bob- the start of something, and it will pass! Should have it tattooed on the back of my hands...
And that's such a tricky one over the £2k, guess it depends how much you really want the house, but I know when you're buying houses it's easy to get fixated on wanting that one. Will be interested to see how it turns out for you- good luck.
Aaaaah, My Little Pony! I loved them so much as a kid MsB, they're ace! Glad the party went well.
Hope you feel better for getting that out air. Keeping up with the demands of one child is hard enough, so a baby and another small child is about three times harder, as it's not like they space out their needs. So sometimes you've either got to be in two places at once, or put one first, which must make you feel a bit grim. You're doing a great job though- is the potty training still going OK?
And bleuuuuuuuuurgh to those flavoured anti-bs aethel, they're grim. Had to have them when I was bitten by a dog when I was little; I warned the rather snooty nurse I wasn't very good at taking medicines but she wouldn't listen, so really it's her own fault I barfed the whole lot back all over her.... Glad to hear that a recovery has been made though!
I think a family holiday sounds really nice jiggle, we've been thinking of similar. But not somewhere as lovely and sunny. Rather 
of that, but DP is somewhat 'celtic-coloured' and DS takes after him, so we'd have to buy buckets of sun screen factor dufflecoat to go anywhere warm...
Really pleased that your DS is gaining and keeping to the line hawthers, I'd say that qualifies for pom-poms. But aethel's right that you should definitely let them know it's tough, as you deserve a life and a bit of pleasure too, you don't exist purely to service your baby's feeding needs. Crap about your DH though; do you think you just need a break (either alone or together) to recharge, or is it a matter of him just pulling his socks up?
Off to get Mother's Day present and a card for a friend's 50th, actually quite pleasant outside.
Oh, and DS rolled over for the first time today!
